 lice's famous colloquy with the Red Queen -- and, in particular, the monarch's celebrated observation that "it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place" -- forms an apt metaphor for the everlasting "dead heat" between plants and the pathogens that beset them. Science's 22 June 2001 special issue on plant pathology focuses the interplay between plants and their microbial enemies, and the defenses, such as resistance genes and gene silencing, that plants have evolved to aid in the battle. Science has a long tradition of groundbreaking research in these areas; below, we present some highlights from over the past decade. (For other resources and references on microbial evolution, see our Web supplement to the 11 May 2001 special issue on the Ecology and Evolution of Infection.)
